Our take
The real reason to pay ₹0.36L more for the XUV 3XO EV AX7 L: level 2 (core suite) ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (10.25" against 9") and dual-zone climate control. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- The XUV 3XO EV is electric, so it will be the cheapest of these to run
- The XUV 3XO EV AX7 L is the strongest of the two at 150 PS
- Also on the XUV 3XO EV AX7 L: all-wheel disc brakes, tyre pressure monitor, SOS emergency call (E-call / B-call) and JBL system with Dolby Atmos, and some minor trim beyond that
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara Zeta if
- You would rather keep the ₹0.36L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Mahindra XUV 3XO EV AX7 L if
- Safety kit matters more to you than keeping the money
